At Meadow View we firmly believe in growing healthiness, happiness and lifelong success. We grow healthiness by proactively encouraging children to recognise, talk about and manage their emotions and mental health and wellbeing, building resilience and encouraging children to recognise when support might need to be sought. We directly teach children about the functions of the brain and coping mechanisms they can use when faced with challenges and problems to solve. We grow healthiness by supporting and encouraging children to lead physically active lives and realise the importance of this, through providing a range of activities, sporting activities and fun physical breaktimes. We grow lifelong success through ensuring pupils achieve academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually by aspiring to be the best they can be, developing passion and enthusiasm for learning and prioritising our 3 school rules of aim high, be safe and be kind.

We are passionate about education and making the primary years as magical and enriching as we can. Reading is of high priority at Meadow View, with children being immersed in rich modern and classical texts that represent our community and curriculum. We recognise that reading is not only the gateway to magical lands and thrilling adventures but also enriched vocabulary, broad subject matter and emotional intelligence ultimately leading to higher attaining pupils.

As soon as you enter the building you will feel the warmth and see that we are a happy place to work and learn.

Our forest school is an extra learning space available for all children to learn about and respect nature and the natural world, learn about wildlife and how to care for it and learn about the benefits of being outdoors and how it keeps us healthy.
